The New Jerusalem.

HERE is a strikingly-beautiful description of the heavenly Jerusalem from the Apocrypha: “For Jerusalem shall be built up with sapphires, and emeralds, and precious stones; thy walls and towers and battlements with pure gold. And the streets of Jerusalem shall be paved with beryl and carbuncles, and stones of Ophir. And all her streets shall say, Alleluia; and they shall praise him, saying, Blessed be God which hath extolled it forever.” Tobit xiii, 16–18.
If this be true, “Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place?” Ps. xxiv, 3.
